Emmerdale star Michael Parr has opened up about his plans for the future after leaving his role as Ross Barton.
Parr very recently bowed out of the ITV soap after playing the mechanic for the last five years. Ross is finally putting his troubles behind him as he seeks a fresh start with girlfriend Rebecca.
But what about the actor’s real-life plans? Speaking to the St Helens Star, he said: “I left the show seven weeks ago and not seen any of the last episodes yet as I was in Los Angeles and will have to watch them to see how they turned out.”
He continued: “It’s been really sad already because the people in scheduling are really kind and in the scenes where I’m saying goodbye to Moira and Pete I felt like I really was saying goodbye so I was actually crying.
“It’s the end of a chapter,” he added.
“Leaving Emmerdale is scary; this is the first time since the age of 14 that I’ve not had a job, but it’s also exciting.”
Parr explained that he’s looking for an agent in the US and hopes to be in LA for pilot season in January.
He added: “I wouldn’t want to become a regular on a soap in the US as I have just spent so long in one, but I’d like to play different characters in guest spots.
“The kind of roles I’m looking forward to are still the baddie but different kinds of storylines – maybe in an HBO boxset or a Netflix show.
“For me it’s more than the part, I didn’t get into acting for money or anything, I want to earn enough obviously, but it’s about the art of it.”
